A few quick note on last Saturday's episode of Doctor Who, Human Nature, penned by Wisdom writer Paul Cornell (thanks to the ever-wise Rich Johnston for once again, pointing me in the right direction by pointing Cornell out):

1. This is perhaps, the first episode in the new season that has ended on a cliff-hanger where I absolutely can not wait any longer to see resolved in the next episode. Really. I wake up every day, sweating. Of course, this can probably be attributed to the rapidly climing temperatures, and my lack of proper air conditioning, but I'm pretty sure it's because of Doctor Who.

2. Jessica Fucking Stevenson/Hynes!!!

3. My opinion of Freeman Agyeman keeps getting better and better with each episode. She was absurdly likable in this episode as well.

4. Time travel stories are always most interesting, to me, when smart people are forced to break the rules. It's essentially drama being handed to writers on a silver platter, because speculative fiction has trained us to believe that if one rule is broken, the entire foundation of space/time is in jeopardy. Those are not stakes that I would ever want to play.
